The Bizarre, Unanimous Dem Support for the $40b War Package to Raytheon and CIA: "For Ukraine" link
The US Anti-War Left is Dead. The Squad's $40b War Vote Just Killed It."
Many Dems voting YES have long denounced exactly these sorts of bills. What happened?
...Except for two missing members, all House Democrats — every last one, including all six members of the revolutionary, subversive Squad — voted for this gigantic war package, one of the largest the U.S. has spent at once in decades.
While a small portion of these funds will go to humanitarian aid for Ukraine, the vast majority will go into the coffers of weapons manufacturers such as Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Boeing and the usual suspects.
Some of it will go to the CIA for unspecified reasons.
The extreme speed with which this was all approved means there is little to no oversight over how the funds will be spent, who will profit and how much, and what the effects will be for Ukraine and the world...Read all!!!
“These predictions have been failing for decades,” the New York Post says. “In 1989, the head of the UN’s Environment Program declared we had just three years to ‘win — or lose — the climate struggle.’
“In 1982, the UN was predicting planetary ‘devastation as complete, as irreversible as any nuclear holocaust’ by the year 2000.”
The New York Post goes on to stress that just as mankind devised a way to fight fires, mankind will continue to find ways to lessen pollution’s harm to the environment. After all, pollution has been decreasing in developed nations in the past few decades, the article notes.
"High-ranking gang thug Sergio Barron served eight years in prison (according to Fox 32 Chicago. The Post Millenialclaims he served three years, and the Chicago Tribuneclaims he hasn’t even been to prison in three years. All three agree he is a career criminal) for gun charges and assaulting a police officer. He was arrested three days after his release on a new gun charge.
Police believe he is behind this week’s retaliatory gang strike after his brother was murdered last month.
FACT-O-RAMA! Chicago’s State Attorney Kim Foxx has a history of giving absurdly low, if any, bail to violent criminals. She has dropped thousands of felony charges. Her campaign was funded by George Soros.
...He was angry about the gangland killing of his brother. What could go wrong?
How about a daytime mass shooting with a school kid dodging bullets? Watch the child run as bullets hit nearby houses.

Activists have convinced Americans that “organic” food is better—healthier, better-tasting, life-extending.
As a result, poor parents feel guilty if they can’t afford to pay $7 for organic eggs.
This misinformation is spread by people like Alexis Baden-Mayer, political director of the Organic Consumers Association. She says organic food is clearly better: “The nutrition is a huge difference.”
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals scolded billionaire business magnate Elon Musk for a tweet in which he declared that he had enjoyed drinking some chocolate milk.
"Chocolate milk is insanely good. Just had some," Musk declared on Monday.
But PETA pounced on Musk's seemingly innocuous tweet and asserted that consuming cow's milk is bad for the environment.
How far has the U.S. Department of Justice gone to investigate parents who were angry with local school boards and administrators?
"A new report from two Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee suggests that federal powers are being misused just as First Amendment defenders feared. Readers may recall the revelations that came to light last fall.
"It took a few weeks, but the National School Boards Association has apologized for sending a letter to President Biden suggesting that “threats and acts of violence” at school board meetings might be “domestic terrorism.” ...Days after the NSBA letter was sent,Attorney General Merrick Garland directed the FBI and U.S. Attorneys to intervene—without spelling out the federal authority or hard evidence for what the AG called a “disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence.”
Mr. Garland’s infamous memomade clear that senior officials at the department should prioritize such investigations:
I am directing the Federal Bureau of Investigation...facilitate the discussion of strategies for addressing threats against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff, and will open dedicated lines of communication for threat reporting, assessment, and response..."
Elon Musk's comment that he would reverse former President Donald Trump's permanent ban on Twitter could result in Facebook and YouTube doing the same, a Washington Post reporter suggested Wednesday.
Musk, who's buying Twitter for $44 billion, said Tuesday that Trump’s Twitter ban was a "morally bad decision," "foolish in the extreme," and that he would allow Trump to return to the social media platform.

...He's seen on video posted by the organization asking Starbucks to "stop charging more" for vegan milk. Starbucks charges roughly 70 cents extra for a dairy alternative, which includes soy, coconut, almond and oat milks, depending on the US city... "My friends at PETA and I are calling on Starbucks to stop punishing kind and environmentally conscious customers for choosing plant milks," Cromwell said in a press release from PETA.
